Drum Units

Many people confuse drum units with toner cartridges, but they are different components that wear out at different rates. The toner cartridge holds the powder. The drum unit transfers that powder to the paper. When a drum unit wears out, prints become faded, streaky, or show repeated marks at regular intervals down the page. Replacing with a genuine Brother drum unit immediately restores sharp, clean output. Genuine Brother drums are engineered to the exact tolerances of Brother laser printers — the rotating drum surface is coated to the right thickness, the cleaning blade is calibrated precisely, and the unit is tested to produce a specific number of pages before degrading. Using a non-genuine drum risks damaging your printer mechanism and voiding your warranty. Replace yours at the right time and your laser printer stays in peak condition.
